For those of you who think you need to change locations when you book your next shoot with me, think again.
Today’s lifestyle shoot with the F. Family proves you don’t need to change a thing. And why not?
Because everything else has changed: you, your kids, your outfits (hopefully!), and even elements at your [...]
If you live in the Bay Area, you have most likely heard of Super Franks, if not already frequented there!
It is THE nicest children’s entertainment center I’ve ever been to! With real furniture, like leather club chairs, a Starbucks counter, real food that actually tastes good, and themed rooms that divide children by age groups, [...]
I am very excited to introduce my exclusive new product for 2010…

Back in November 2009, I did a commercial shoot for Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore. (Click here to read that blog post.)
They wanted me to shoot a cover photo for their new CD, Engage, which was due to be out in time for Christmas! The people at Cornerstone loved the images (YAY!!!!) that they upgraded the [...]
Yesterday’s commercial shoot was Part 3 for the Downtown Oakland’s YMCA.
(Click here to see my other YMCA shoots, Part 1 – Be Amazing or Part 2 – Got Air?)
Laura Henry, the Director of Marketing, and I wanted to capture images of as many children’s programs the Y had to offer. So here was our schedule:

In finalizing the A. Family’s newborn gallery, I discovered a favorite that I forgot to share with you. Here it is!
Whisper In My Ear
Twins share so much, even from the time they are babies. I love the closeness of Gil and Greg here, so I made it a tight shot to keep the feeling warm [...]
These amazing little guys were born at 35 weeks, which is considered full-term for twins!
Congratulations to Scott and Janine for bringing such darling little babes into this World. They are so in love with Guillermo and Gregory that they are already talking about giving them a sister — or at least Scott is!
The [...]
I took little Zachary’s 1 year portraits last year. He was one of the most smiley, happy babies I had ever met!
(Click here to see what Zach looked like last year!)
He has grown so much since last year that I almost didn’t recognize him when he came to the door… almost.
He is still very smiley [...]
If there is ever a time to use the overused 3-letter acronym “OMG”, it is when I am referring to my kids (aka, monkeys) at play.
How Ian Plays Candyland Castle
And he’s concentrating really hard to do this too!
I mean REALLY?!!!!
Mia with Stencils
My monkeys are so silly. They definitely make my life more colorful.
Today’s Photoshoot Objective: Take photos of a 12-person group on-location in January.
The Challenges: 1) It is a cold and foggy Winter morning in the Bay Area. We’re talking really dense fog! 2) It is a large group and I don’t want all the photos to be posey-posey shots.
Hmmmm…..
The Solution:
1) Give structure to the group shots [...]
Today I met Jami who is my Tribute To Moms Contest winner! YAY, Jami!!!
Being a parent — especially a mom — is quite a tough job! Of course it is truly rewarding and can even bring your ability to love and feel loved to a whole new level you never thought was possible. But there [...]
Before I put ALL my holiday stuff away *sigh*, I thought I’d share some of the holiday cards I got from 2009 clients…
It was really cool to open up these cards to see what masterpieces you had created with the images from your shoots with me!
THANK YOU for thinking of me during the holiday season [...]
The Rare Chef. That’s me. And by “rare”, I mean rareLY, not as in uncooked food!
I am great at defrosting, sticking things into the microwave or oven, making one pot meals or meals that are partially prepared already. My goal is to not spend more than 30 minutes in the kitchen for each meal prep.
As [...]
I’ve been preaching this for a long time, so those of you following my blog will think I sound like a broken record….
Beautiful portrait photography can be found in unexpected places. It is mostly about lighting, not the location itself.
Today’s photoshoot was at…. you’ll never guess! Just for fun, I’ll tell you at the end! [...]
